If the game allows it try using a highlight/mouseover pointer. Find a value that all characters share, health, magic or whatever. Then "find what accesses this address". Hover over the character you found the value for and see if anything pops up.

still, what went wrong?

did a fast one, seems not possible with this game.

Assuming your compares are correct -- since the target is 64bit, try allocating 8 bytes instead of 4:

64bit games use the "R" registers (RAX,RBX) and so on. Sorry but I cant really answer the why to your question. I've never had to allocate more memory on the 64bit games I've played.

64-bit processes use 64-bit addresses. That's 8 bytes to hold the address.

Logically speaking of course,

I still dont get why it didn't work, although 4 bytes worked for other scripts of the same game.

I'm still a beginner of this, can u shed me some light?

Lets say the variable's address is at 7FF911223344.
Well, that's a pretty big number. So big that it won't fit within 4 bytes.
So when you only reserve 4 bytes for it, you're losing its actual value.

In your specific case, you're allocating space for multiple addresses in succession.
Since you told CE to only reserve 4 bytes, it is placing the next address 4 bytes after the first.

So when you write the 8 bytes to your first address, everything appears fine.
CE created a larger block of memory than you requested and your instruction used RCX, an 8-byte register.
It successfully fit the entire 8 bytes into Base_Character_01.

The problem comes when you then write the address of Base_Character_02.
Since it starts only 4 bytes after the first, it is actually overwriting half of the previous bytes you were using.

I think i got a grip of it. Thanks alot Zanzer.

I guess that's also the reason why it always able to get character 6 right? (character 7 actually doesn't exist, i just put it there for future purposes)
